After a long month or so, I have finally finished The Odyssey. It was a long read, and quite boring at times, however I am glad that I took the time to re-read the beginning of the story. I could understand everything that was happening much better, and I began to actually like the story!
The ending was very predictable. I could practically see what was going to happen before I got to the end. I myself wouldn't know how to end a story like that, so I don't mind it! I don't know if I am ready to read the Iliad yet. I think a need a break from the heavy reading, but I am glad that I can say I have read The Odyssey.
I found that the active reading defiantly helped me out in the beginning of the story, but my brain gradually understood the type of writing it was reading and I didn't need to use it as much as I had when I started.
I feel the same way about active reading. :) It helped at first, to straighten out my thoughts, but now they aren't mixed up and I prefer not to active read as much
